Love at First Bite

Love at First Bite is a funny episode where our heroes remembering all girls whose they had found in overseas when they were on the Army, in flashback each one recalling how they meet the girl and got your heart in different countries, the brides are now on harbor waiting for them, but they are drunk and have a little delay to meeting them!!! Funny scene when Shemp wake up with foots on cement and try out!! The Three Stooges Forever!!!

The Three Stooges has always been some of the many actors that I have loved. I love just about every one of the shorts that they have made. I love all six of the Stooges (Curly, Shemp, Moe, Larry, Joe, and Curly Joe)! All of the shorts are hilarious and also star many other great actors and actresses which a lot of them was in many of the shorts! In My opinion The Three Stooges is some of the greatest actors ever and is the all time funniest comedy team!

This is a fair Three Stooges short with Shemp. The Stooges and their girls played by Christine McIntyre, Yvette Reynard, and Marie Monteil are really the only ones in this short. There are many hilarious scenes here and Shemp is very funny! There is a similar Three Stooges short with Joe called Fifi Blows Her Top. Love At First Bite is a good short with Shemp. I recommend it!

Random thoughts about this Three Stooges short.....

"Love At First Bite" was the name of a very funny and popular Dracula spoof feature-length film put out in 1979 and starring Richard Benjamin and George Hamilton IV. The title here refers to Larry recalling how he met his bride-to-be at a restaurant in Italy......Meanwhile, Christine McIntyre with the pigtails and German accent (Vienna) reminded me a little of Teri Garr in "Young Frankenstein," except not quite as revealing.

The boys are all pumped up because they are going to get married shortly, a familiar tune in the Three Stooges shorts over the years. In fact, it's their wedding day and they are sprucing up the house. The fiancés are coming over later on a boat. (Don't ask; I didn't write this script.) The comedy skits include gum in Moe's ear and then his nose and then all over him; a horseshoe falling and hitting Larry in head and then bouncing back up to the spot on the wall above the door where it hung. Actually, the horseshoe bit is played three different times.

I didn't think it was that humorous to hear Moe make the noises that Curly used to make - it just doesn't fit. I did laugh at Shemp's line, just has he about to be dynamited. "Will it hurt?," he asks just prior to being blown up.

I thought the most clever bits in this film were (1) Larry trying to eat spaghetti, with a strong fan going nearby and (2) the ending with poor Shemp rocking back and forth in a semi-circle of cement, but giving more than he was taking.

Larry, Moe, and Shemp are decorating for a party to welcome their war brides arriving on the boat. The boys reminisce about their time with the girls during the war overseas.

This Shemp Stooges short relies on each guy to shine on their own. They're not nearly as good on their own. When they're together, I don't like the sticky stuff on their faces which looks like snort. It feels yucky. The best bit is Shemp getting cemented into the bowl. It would be great for him to rock back and forth a lot more and use actual Shemp. Overall, I like the last half more than the first half.
